There were 4 players, all with different fleets - Dwarves (ACW style ironclads), Humans (Reniassance style ships), Orks (Longboats with huge forwad cannon & Rams) and Dragon Lords (a type of elf) Dave on discovering that the orc frigattes can ram straight through his dragon lord frigates without needing to dice for anything...!

Full thrust on sea wouldn't be a bad description actually, as you have the same shooting mechanic, although movment is done differently (as in you don't have velocity, and instead change what you want to move each turn, as long as you move atleast 2") turning is done by template (which depends on ship size) and differnet races have different 'magic' cards (A deck of 36 race tailored cards with things such as extra gun range, etc)
